Here is my 49th Hornet. Don't get too excited, most of them are 1/72.  Could be 56 if I counted the Super Hornets. Anyway..... This is a Hasegawa F-18A made into a Canadian CF-188A. Only mods are a True Details seat and of course the very colourful decals from Leading Edge.

The decals represent a 410 squadron special. In this case the 2002 20th anniversary  scheme of the Hornet in Canadian service. One of the last full colour schemes as opposed to the current batch of "just the tails".

The accompanying shots include a photo of two planes in this same scheme. The 72nd one is going bye-bye. Also a shot of my ten colour birds in 48th and a couple Hornet group shots.
